Abstract: In this work we study the local coupled Kuramoto model with periodic boundary conditions. Our main objective is to show how analytical solutions may be obtained from symmetry assumptions, and while we proceed on our endeavor we show apart from the existence of local attractors, some unexpected features resulting from the symmetry properties, such as intermittent and chaotic period phase slips, degeneracy of stable solutions and double bifurcation composition. As a result of our analysis, we show that stable fixed points in the synchronized region may be obtained with just a small amount of the existent solutions, and for a class of natural frequencies configuration we show analytical expressions for the critical synchronization coupling as a function of the number of oscillators, both exact and asymptotic.


This paper considers the locally coupled Kuramoto model, i.e.~a network of phase oscillators on a ring, each coupled through a sinusoidal function to its two nearest neighbours. The emphasis is on analytically finding synchronised solutions and their stability. The distribution of intrinsic frequencies is assumed to have some symmetry, and this property is used extensively in the analysis. Small networks (\(N=3,4\)) are considered first, then larger networks in which frequencies alternate between two values as one moves around the ring, and several more similar cases.
